Mountain West Conference - BYU Cougars Preview
In order for the Cougars to win the conference this year, they'll have to knock off either TCU or Utah on the road. Easier said than done, but BYU experienced success on the road in '05 and should build off of it.
Last year's offense increased its scoring output by nine PPG and return eight from that unit. QB John Beck returns off a huge season that saw him throw for 3709 yards with a 27-13 TD/INT ratio. RB Curtis Brown will look to surpass the 1176 yards he posted a year ago and increase his 14 trips to the endzone behind one of the best O-Lines in the conference.

Injuries contributed to the Cougar's porous defense that allowed an average of 29 PPG last season. Back-ups got valuable experience, so this group should be better off even with only four starters back.
If everything goes as planned, the Cougars should post its first winning mark since 2001.
